Except: Meta doesn't sell AI at all. Zuck is just doing this for two reasons:

- flex

- deal a blow to Altmann

Meta uses ai in all the recommendation algorithms. They absolutely hope to turn their chat assistants into a product on WhatsApp too, and GenAI is crucial to creating the metaverse. This isn’t just a charity case.
AI isn't a single thing: of course meta didn't buy thousands of GPUs for fun.

But it has nothing to do with LLMs (and interestingly enough they aren't opening their recommendation tech).

There are literal ads for Meta Ai on television. The idea they’re not selling something is absurd.
